New choice for the Book Club – ‘We are all Completely Beside Ourselves’ by Karen Joy Fowler
Here’s the latest choice for the Book Club: ‘We are all Completely Beside Ourselves’ by Karen Joy Fowler. I don’t know anything about this other than the blurb, and I don’t know anyone that has read it so I have absolutely no preconceptions, but it certainly did its job and successfully drew me in. I can’t wait to find out what happens on page 77…!
Stay tuned to find out what we think.

New for the Book Club – And the Mountains Echoed – by Khaled Hosseini
The latest choice for the Chamonix Book Club is one I’m very excited about. ‘And the Mountains Echoed’ by Khaled Hosseini is a book that has been on my ‘to read’ list for some time, as I would safely put ‘The Kite Runner’ and ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’ in amongst my favourite books of all time. I think Khaled Hosseini is a wonderful writer, whose previous novels have been both heart wrenching and beautiful.
I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of my copy and can’t wait to get started!

The Casual Vacancy – by JK Rowling

New for the book club – an intriguing choice
Our latest choice for the book club is the first adult novel from JK Rowling, who needs no introduction. This book was a recommendation and we are all highly intrigued to see how the Harry Potter author tackles her first story aimed at older readers. It is set in a fictional village based in rural England and seems a million miles from the magical setting of Hogwarts. The reviews are outstanding so looking forward to a good summer read. Watch this space to see what we think!

New book for the Chamonix Book Club!
The new book has been chosen; this time a non-fiction. A far cry from The Book Thief, the new choice is ‘It’s not about the bike’, by Lance Armstrong. This was an interesting choice by one of the group who was a huge fan of the 7 time Tour de France winner, and is interested to see how people’s opinions may have changed since he was exposed as a drugs cheat. Does his cheating completely cancel out any success he ever had? Or is what he achieved still impressive despite now knowing what he did?
We shall find out!
